LED THERAPY
LED Therapy (LED) or light emitting diode therapy, is a skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light, including red and blue. Unlike other types of light therapy, LEDs do not contain ultraviolet rays. This treatment is also safe for all skin colors, and it does not cause any burning.

- Acne
- wrinkles
- Treat acne (not active acne/on Accutane treatment)

There are different frequencies, or wavelengths, used with LED light treatment. These include red and blue light frequencies, are readily absorbed into the skin.
Red light
Red, or infrared, light is used for treating the epidermis, which is the outer layer of skin. When the light is applied to your skin, the epidermis absorbs it and then stimulates collagen proteins, causing your skin will look smoother and fuller, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Blue light
- Blue LED light, on the other hand, targets the sebaceous glands, which are also called oil glands. They are located beneath your hair follicles.
- Blue LED light can target these oil glands and make them less active. In turn, you may see fewer acne breakouts.
Oftentimes, blue LED light is used in conjunction with red LED light to:
Help treat acne
Decrease scarring
Promote anti-inflammatory effects
